Lack a fifth bowler who can break partnerships........Starc and crew are traditional bowlers, we lack that Mitchell Johnson aggressive bowler who can intimidate and get wickets with invention and less conventional methods.
Credit to England though...Vince looks a classy player with a real tight technique and Stoneman is that fighting type who wont give his wicket away cheaply and will take a few hits to the body and not flinch..
Not sure Lyons rubbish talk pre-match did us much good either, looked like it only hardened the Poms up a bit...expect us to do better after lunch with some more planning...I got the idea we thought just 4 bowlers and rolling our arms over would be enough to run through the no name English batsman...
